Barr Akeem Agbaje, A Rare Gem !! By Victor ‘Yemi Akanmu.
Barrister Akeem Agbaje is a rare gem and blessing to humanity. He is an hero with cape who reaches out to people without discriminating against them, either based on their region or religion, colour or creed.
Barr. Akeem Agbaje is not only a legal luminary who uses his professional leverages to save the heads of the less privileged, but also he is a notable philanthropist who puts smiles on the faces of the indigent.
He does not only give fishes but also he teaches how to go fishing. He is a typical benefactor that Yorubas call “Odaso Fun Eniyan Daso Fun Egungun”.
Barr Agbaje is a gifted master in the act and art of charismatic mode of leadership, thus, he is qualified to be described as the one that the Greek Philosopher, Plato called a philosopher-king that must lead an ideal state.
The scion of Agbaje Salami L’Ayeye is a man of depth. He is is a bridge-builder who has a third ear to listen to unheard voices and act, responsively.
Today, many of African leaders lack empathy. Many of them have no conscience or human feelings that you can appeal to. In short, most of them can be psychologically described as ‘Psychopaths’ or philosophically viewed as ‘Manipulators’. These are reasons that many people, and electorates, groan in pains and bite their fingers in regrets after electing such ‘reactionary leaders’. Meanwhile, Agbaje is distinct and distinguished. His soft spots are tender heart and merciful mind. Thus, he can be perfectly described as “Angel – Incarnate”. He can’t just do without helping people ‘unlimitedly’. Meanwhile, he has never been desperate, and he always believes in collective agenda.
Akeem Agbaje is not only virtuous but also integrous. If you call him knight of masses, you are right. If you call him liberator of commoners, you are perfect. If you call him an unalloyed loyalist to the party leadership, you nail it. If you describe him as ‘a servant leader’ to the party members, you get it. If you say he is a lover of youth, you don’t miss it at all. Above all, he is an unrepentant glorifier of God and lover of humanity. His watchword remains ‘people, people, and people”.
Akeem Agbaje! Sir, we’ve never doubted your innate quality as a born leader and your dexterous tongue as an effective and resourceful speaker that mentors young ones and engages elders, whenever you speak.
Agbaje is an unalloyed ‘Omoluabi’, seasoned administrator, courageous gaffer and organic leader. He is academically brilliant, professionally qualified to hold any position of authority, administratively resourceful, interpersonally charismatic, benevolently supportive, philanthropically accessible, generously inclined, responsively conscious, locally grass-rooted, and nationally detribalized.
Barr Akeem Agbaje is a legal luminary and illustrious son of Ibadan land, hailed from a family of many firsts; Late Dr. Anthony Saka Agbaje, the first medical doctor of Ibadan origin, Late Chief Abdul Mojeed Folarin Agbaje, the first lawyer of Ibadan Origin; and Late Hon. Justice Abdul Ganiyu Agbaje JSC, the first Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria of Ibadan origin.
Barr. Akeem is a progeny of the Legendary Agbaje Salami L’Ayeye. The Great Agbaje Salami was an earlier Ibadan billionaire, first generation Nigerian politician, influential statesman and notable philanthropist, who immensely contributed his own quota to the sociocultural, socioreligious and sociopolitical advancements and progress of Ibadan Land and its environs.
Barr Akeem Agbaje! Thank you for all you do to humanity, and remain blessed, sir.
